Howard Katz My name is Howard Katz. I am a candidate for Sun Lakes Master Board. I have extensive experience in management, organization, budgeting, information technology, setting strategic and tactical goals, defining requirements, directing operational projects, and providing quality project oversight. My experience has been enhanced by residence and project assignments in North and South America, Asia, and Europe, including: • 37-years in information technology, the first 30 of which were with IBM and a total of 20-years in management positions; and • Eight-years substitute teaching in the Perris Union High, Temecula Valley Unified, and Murrieta Valley Unified School Districts. Kathy, my wife of 60 plus years, and I moved to Sun Lakes in June 2017. We chose Sun Lakes because of its location, facilities, beauty, reasonable homeowners' association dues, and the recommendation of one of our close friends who lives here. I have been active in the Computer Club, the Photography Group, and the Yiddish Culture Club. I was Vice President of the Pass Action Group and recently Chair of the Financial Advisory Committee. My goals as a Master Board Member will be to: • Enhance Master Board transparency; • Stabilize reserve funding; • Increase the quality of financial oversight; • Reduce the restaurant and lounge losses; and • Reduce the golf course operations losses. I believe my experience and skills will enable me to be a positive influence on our Master Board, helping Sun Lakes continue to be a satisfying place to live, both for us here now and future residents.
